Anne Rice on Twilight, True Blood and her new book, Angel Time:
On the Vampire Phenomenon:
I think it’s wonderful fun. Now that I don’t write the Vampire Chronicles I feel free to enjoy it. I really enjoy the HBO series “True Blood.” When I was writing my own, I wouldn’t have wanted to be influenced.
On Twilight:
No, I haven’t read any of the Twilight Series, but I did see the film. I felt that it reflected the deep desire of young women to have the mystery and protection and wisdom of older men. I think many girls mature much earlier than boys, and they are frustrated when they approach young boys for love or protection. Hence the fantasy of a wise and protective vampire coming into the life of a young girl who, of course, appreciates him in a special way.
